If Bugs Bunny resented Barbra Streisand for stealing his catchphrase for 1972's What's Up, Doc?, he finally got his revenge. With an assist from Michael Jordan, Space Jam, Mr. Bunny's first full-length feature, scored $27.5 million, towering over the $12.2 million opening (Streisand's best ever) of The Mirror Has Two Faces. Bugs was really gunning, though, for Mickey Mouse -- Jam's debut not only knocked Disney's Ransom from No. 1 but also topped those of every Disney animated film except Toy Story, The Lion King, and Pocahontas.
